Watching Kmart and Sears Torturously close their stores is brutal. The sad thing about it is that they didn't have to essentially rob so many share holders and employees. Here is a great article talking about it [ http://www.businessinsider.com/sears-failing-stores-closing-edward-lampert-bankruptcy-chances-2017-1]
Most of the things we bought came from sears growing up. The one in Nashville, TN was really neat. It was two stories and had candy, roasted nuts, and snack booth as soon as you walked in. You used to feel welcome going to sears back in the old days. They treated customers like gold. So Sad. Thanks for the post and bringing back some good memories.
